Crazy. A heartrate like a high performance athelete excercising.
The ammount of energy burnt by her brain in a concert, or in this marathon, must also be beyond description.




However, orchestra musicians can have even higher heartrates, if they happen to be of a nature that finds it heart to deal with stress and "Lampenfieber" (=stage fright?). Values of 180 and more have been reported.


Kathia Buniatishvili and Yuja Wang are my favourite classical pianists. That I also find both very sympathetic (Wang is Aquarius like me LOL ) is a coinicidnce and not what I mean. Their skills are breathtaking.



I say put Yuja Wang into a reactor core, and our energy problems all would be solved for the coming 20 years!
